Tennis

Unseeded Nicole Polasek, a 16-year-old from South Africa, defeated No. 1 seed Julie Kaczmarek of Lansing, Ill., 6-2, 7-5 Friday in the finals of the Girls` 18 Western Open at the Lakeshore Centre. A senior at Lyons Township High School, Polasek lives with the Vasek Kures family in Willow Springs. She came to the United States three years ago on a student visa. Although she has won several tournaments, Nicole can`t be ranked nationally because she is not a U.S. citizen. The Kures are the parents of Michael Kures, one of the nation`s top junior players and the No. 1 player at UCLA.
